CASTRO AURUM (4.02 Nottingham, nap)
Made a winning return to action when stepping up to a mile at Bath. Darryll Holland's filly finished her race off well so this extra two furlongs should not be a bother. Her handicap mark of just 73 is more than workable and she can take advantage of that today on the quick ground she loves.
GINCIDENT (2.10 Lingfield, nb)
Is bang in form and is the pick of these on their form on turf. Trainer James Owen can do little wrong these days and his five-year-old was beaten less than a couple of lengths on his first try at this trip here ten days ago.
URBAN SPRAWL (3.40 Lingfield, treble)
Put in a fine shift in a tough handicap at York last week. He has winning form here on the all-weather track and this looks a good opportunity.

Jannik Sinner suffers ‘Roger Federer curse' as French Open final fan repeats fateful gesture six years on

SOME FING STRANGE Jannik Sinner suffers 'Roger Federer curse' as French Open final fan repeats fateful gesture six years on Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JANNIK SINNER had two hands on the French Open crown - or at least nine fingers... But fans reckon he was then hit by the very same curse that struck Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final six years ago. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Jannik Sinner reflects on Carlos Alcaraz storming back to win Credit: Reuters 5 Roger Federer likewise blew match points against Novak Djokovic Credit: Getty Nothing less than that of "The Cursed Finger". Sinner was leading Carlos Alcaraz 2-1 in sets and 5-3 in the fourth, before earning three match points at love-40 on the Spaniard's serve. And it was then that some Sinner fans gleefully raised a finger in anticipation of the World No1 clinching his first Roland Garros title. That's also what happened to Federer in the SW19 seats when he had two match points on his own serve against big rival Novak Djokovic back in 2019. READ MORE ON JANNIK SINNER DEADLY SIN Sinner in sportsmanship fail as French Open final gesture to Alcaraz backfires Both times fingers went up. Both times fortunes went down for the man on top. Djokovic clinched a five-set epic, then Alcaraz did just that too on Sunday - retaining his French crown via the longest-ever Roland Garros final. And fans couldn't resist making creepy comparisons. One wrote: "If it's not a cursed finger again" - followed by crying-with-laughter emojis. 5 Haunted history repeated itself as fans celebrated too early in two Grand Slam finals six years apart BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Others taunted Sinner fans - as their hero went on to lose 4-6 6-7 6-4 7-6 7-6 in five hours and 29 minutes. The 23-year-old might also have thought the spirits were against him for another reason. Novak Djokovic digs out French Open rival for 'spying' on him and seeing Champions League trophy He sportingly gave up a point in the fourth point after telling the chair umpire an Alcaraz shot had wrongly been called out. But replays showed line judges had been right to call it long. Three-time Slam winner Sinner admitted afterwards it was tough to speak after losing from such a strong position. The rueful runner-up said: "It's easier to play than talk now. "I'm still happy with this trophy - I won't sleep very well tonight but it is OK." Meanwhile, Alcaraz praised his beaten rival - perhaps knowing the pair are way ahead of the world's rest in the men's game. He told Sinner: "The level you have is amazing. "It is a privilege to share a court with you in every tournament and in making history." 5 Credit: Getty

Porsche unveils road-legal hypercar 50 years after original won world titles – but there's a catch

The new motor features significant changes from the original race-winner CARN'T BELIEVE IT Porsche unveils road-legal hypercar 50 years after original won world titles – but there's a catch Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PORSCHE has shocked the motoring world by unveiling a new road legal hypercar. What's more is that it's spun off the a motor that's won multiple endurance racing world titles - but there's a catch. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Porsche has revealed a new road legal hypercar Credit: PA 2 It's based on a trailblazing motor that won multiple endurance racing titles Credit: PA The Porsche 963 RSP is unlike anything you can currently purchase - because only one has been made. It's a version of the manufacturers WEC and ISMA championship winning machine. And it's been built to mark 50 years since Count Rossi drove the trailblazing Porsche 917 from Zuffenhausen to Paris. Like that all-conquering motor, this one's been made road legal. Porsche's North American boss Timo Resch said: "How could we reimagine the 917's story in today's time? "The 917 from the story was every inch a race car – albeit one driven on the road – and we took the same approach with the 963 RSP. "It uses beautiful materials of the best quality available, but is still every bit a race car underneath." The 963 features significant changes over the car on which its based. In terms of the engine, the carmaker had to allow the 4.5-litre, twin-turbo V8 hybrid to run on regular unleaded rather than race fuel. While not an easy undertaking, the 918 Spyder-derived V8, e-motor and battery combo delivers a whopping 671bhp. Inside Taycan Turbo GT Porsche that can hit 200mph as SunSport's Isabelle Barker is taken for a spin by Formula E safety car driver The road height was also adjusted to make it suitable for general roads and the dampers softened. The control unit was reprogrammed too to allow for the headlights and taillights to operate closer to those of a motor on the road. But its the interior that departs most from the original race car. In the entirely bespoke cabin, you'll find soft tan leather with a single piece driver's seat clad with additional cushioning and a fixed headrest. You'll find a special panel next to the driver that stores the steering wheel as well as a helmet and car aficionados will spot the nods to the 917. The biggest tribute comes in the form of the exterior colour that's the same 'Martini Silver' as Count Rossi's 917. This one's been painted too, a unique challenge because of the carbon fibre and Kevlar bodywork. The bodywork also had to be modified to cover the wheel arches, headlights and tail lights added as well as closed-off banking plates on the rear wing and mounting points for the license plates. An enamel Porsche badge can be found on the nose and proper wet road tyres wrapped around 18 inch racing wheels. ONE-OF-A-KIND 'SPECIAL' MOTOR The 963 RSP gets its name from the involvement of American auto racing team owner Roger Searle Penske on the project. Resch explained he called on Penske for "support" in the car's construction, with the racing expert ensuring the classic race car's character was not changed for the new model. The Porsche boss said that as Penske's involvement increased, the company realised he would be the perfect, and only, customer for the car. So while it was never intended to be a fully road-legal 963, Porsche received an exemption from the EPA in the US as it understood "how special" the car is. Despite this, it is not a fully road-registered car - and it needed special dispensation to run in France at the Le Mans 24hr weekend. For now, the car is expected to remain one-of-a-kind, with a Porsche spokesperson telling Top Gear that wide-scale selling would "change the character" of the iconic motor.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up LIVE EACH DAY (9.00 Windsor, nap) She's done well since joining Stuart Williams and followed a Southwell success with a neck second here last time. That was over a mile and she finished strongly to suggest this longer trip will be ideal. Rossa Ryan is a good booking and she's handicapped to win a couple at this level. EDUCATOR (6.20 Pontefract, nb) It was great to see Henrietta Knight back in the winners' enclosure with this six-year-old who had to pick his way through the field to land a cosy success. He relishes this trip on the level and is more than capable of following up. SIR ROCK (2.40 Southwell, treble) He got his act together nicely when winning cosily at Fontwell last month. He kept it simple from the front there and could get another uncontested lead today. That would give him a massive chance. IREZUMI (3.30 Brighton, Lucky 15) He was just a length off the pace when third here last time and takes a drop in standard here. He should be fine with this trip too.
